I wonder if these are the people behind the whole thing. Exposure for a site, and a few quick bucks from all the people who identify with the whole drone meme.
OK, it has been bought up. I haven't followed this story for a while, and I just stumbled over the sale site. Sorry for the redundant post.

Another weird thing about isaacs drawings/copies; the 'writing'. Noone has asked this simple question: Why would aliens write? Lets say aliens do roam the universe, and they sprouted from something else than we did and they didn't evolve into monkeys and finally a heap of barbaric morons like we are (because, how likely would THAT be..not only another living species, but also pretty much exact duplicates, albeit assumed to be a lot smarter) then why does everyone assume theyve started writing eachother messages? Writing is very primitive really, very basic. Above all, our languages are so inefficient, that back in the day that the first programmers were writing code they all decided to make up some more efficient languages.

If your species communicates solely through talking or telepathy, how are you going to have any way of leaving your legacy behind if your species dies out? It only makes logical sense to me that every species would have some form of written language. But as Isaac said many times, this writing is not a language. It is a programming code.

If aliens have advanced tech, then if it were me, and my species were capable of direct though transfer, I'd make a machine that beamed thoughts, ideas, sounds, smells, etc DIRECT rather than leave a language, because regardless of how good it is, a photo is always better than a descriptive sentence, so actually holographically, or physically (as in, in your mind not phys, phys) will always be the best way.
It'd make sense to me that if they can link brains, they'd have made machines that can do it too and that they can share knowledge etc directly without having to write it down.

Another question I have: I wonder if Stanton Friedman and/or other qualified/reliable/trustworthy UFO researchers have publicly or privately commented on DRONE/CARET/ISAAC? Also wonder what the UK thinks (Elliot?). The does the French UFO website have anything similar we could analyze? (I speak Spanish, not French).
Wed 08.01 >>
Stanton Friedman & Michael Shermer will be debating SETI, UFOs, ET’s and religion, making contact, myth-making and aliens, space travel, and abduction cases.

You now explain the very problem that is at the core of this 'ET' business in that we can only suggest/imagine their means of communications within the realm of option that WE have explored and thought of. Frankly, IF anything exists i don't know how they communicate, i'm merely suggesting that writing would be out of the context of their highly evolved status that we've given them.
Just like the slight oversight that eventhough we're all convinced that we're being visited and then draw these pictures of small humans with exaggerated features and then completely forget that any other lifeform would have extremely big problems surviving on earth for ANY length of time.

But holographic capabilities are exactly what Isaac said the drones have.
Keep in mind, a drone is a small artifact. If one person found one buried in the sands of Egypt, he could keep it to himself and not have to share it's potential knowledge with anyone. But placing hieroglyphs on large monuments is the best way to ensure that many people will see it over time. The pyramids are a lasting testament to the empire that was Egypt.

hieroglyphs were not part of the Egyptian buildings and works until very late in the game. Most of their works were (thats why i said initially) not engulfed with writings and pictures. Great sphinx for instance as one of the oldest pieces.. no hiero's nothing.
Im done arguing though. Like i said, im not trying to convince you of anything. I just think that ol' isaac is full of sh*t.

Ok, then forget the pyramids. How about their tombs? How about any other ancient civilization that has writing on their monuments? No one is arguing with you. This is a forum where we debate and seek answers to questions using logic, common sense, and rational conversation.

The best proof of Isaac's revealing of secret documents being a testament to his creativity (rather than actual gov secret documents) is the fact that they're still online. If they were real and the US Gov really didn't want the general public to see them then wouldn't you say they'd have intervened within minutes of them being uploaded to the web? Add to that the bad CGI of the picture(s) OR the incorrect details about the circumstances of the picture being taken, the extremely suspicious use of the word 'albeit' (twice, no less!!) and the fact that Isaac chose a target audience that is most likely to believe him. For a Gov that is extremely settled in its ways and inflexible in diverting from those ways (Isaac mentioned this a few times i think) it is quite surprising that the CARET report has no classification mentioned on them (though that is protocol) but they did in fact have blacked out portions so as to keep certain info from being read by someone without the proper clearance.. This, to me, spells: creative joke (or HOAX as people like to call it), one that was nearly perfect if the 'hoaxer' would have quit his day-job and put a little more time in it.

Just taking a picture of the F-14 Tomcat while driving thru Pensacola, Fl. on 7-25-2007. Then when I got home, we downloaded the pictures. Then as we were looking at the pictures, I noticed what looks like a dragonfly. But when veiwed full size, (actually looks pretty clear), you can see it looks man-made. I mean, look at the body, it looks mechanical. It is located on the right side half way down by the trees. Never saw or heard anything while I was there. What a trip, huh!
